A Valuable Southern frOd uct.
Jacksonville Price Current


There is growing sentiment against
adulteration in this country, and this
sentiment may find vent some day i'm a
general law against adulteration or a
special one directed against the use of
cotton-seed oil in lard
The proper course is to meet the issue
in advance; to- bring the new product be-
fore the country on its merits, to show
its advantage, cheapness and purity
and to introduce it to the public as pure
healthy, sweet and refined vegetable oil.
Much of the prejudice against it, is
the belief that 1t Is nasty this
idea and success Is assured.
If the cottOn-seed oil producers do not
wish to be caught in the same trap as
the makers of oleOmargarine, let them
be warned in time, that no article can
be prOtitably manufactured wholly for
notwithstanding purposes for a long pc
Rod; and must ultimately rest ON its
own merits.
Cotton-seed oil has merits: let them be
introduced and made known to the peo-
pie.

Florida in NAV

The man whose every sense is not sat
isfied with the climatic influences of
Florida at this season deserves to be en-
balmed with theSybarite who complained
because one of the rose leaves of his
couch was crinkled. The nights are just
cool enough to make sleep a luxury in
comparable, or midnight labor sweet as
the care of flowers which lent a charm
to Eden-tne morning airs make glad
ness in the human heart as it tunes the
Threats of the birds, and the face of our
sky Is winsome under its perpetual
changes as the dimpled smiles which
mirror the gladness of the maiden's
thoughts.
And if indoor life is luxury, these days
are far more to him who can enjoy in
the loneliness of nature in her immediate
presence. We have pushed our boat into
masses of lilies whose broad leaves
made a carpet of softer hues than ever
blushed in Eastern looms, and all around
from such dewy bed shone the stately
blooms, amid whose purity the use of
the rod seemed dissertation. And in the
clear depth fishes flashed and long MOSES
swayed, while the blue sky arched over
head and the wandering airs they faint
with perfume and melody.
Those who have made Florida's winter
beauties famous should see her in her
summer glory-the visitor should make
1t his first duty to rebel against the tyr
amy of the landlord who would COM
pei him to go North while snow still lin
gers in the valleys-before the trout has
found his spring appetite and the frost
still guards the earthworm from tbs
premature fisherman in these land.

The letter-sensation of the London
Times is being traced to a hand other
than that of Parnell, and the probability
is that it will recoil on its inventors lie
the anonymous ISLANDERS which have
formed SO prominent a feature of our
Senatorial campaign A committee, con-
sisting of five experts and a number of
bank cashiers, have identified the hand
writing of the fac-simile given by the
Times, purporting to be Parnelrs, with
that of a certain Richard Pigott, who
had before attempted to blackmail the
Irish-American League.

men We're deceivers ever" We have
narrowing story of a young woman
who married consumptive in order
that she might soon be an interesting
widow. The husband, under the i'm
preston that he had something to live
for, began to improve in health imme-
diately, thus dashing his brides fondest

Palatka Has only the First.
Selma (Ala-J Times.

Every growing and ambitious city is
composed of three elements: Those who
work periodically, vigorously and intel
ligently for its advancement: those who
are in a state of apathy or indifference,
and those who take a curious delight
in discouraging the efforts of others by
ridicule, persistent denial that any pro-
gress can or has been accomplished and
by boasting of every other city beside
their own. The last class are called
croakers, but they are really something
worse, for their opposition does not arise
simply from dependency, but from that
unenviable spirit which will neither act
itself nor suffer others to act.

A new Caspar Hauser has been I'M
earthed at Oskaloosa, Wisconsin. 1t is
child eight years old, who has been
kept since its birth in cellar so that the
lower extremities are so weak as to
be almost useless. His mother, also,
has been confined by her parents so
closely that in eight years she has been
out of the house only twice. But the
mystery which brooded over the cas-, of
his medieval prototype will be dissipated
in the Ely case, for the courts have
taken prompt action and the unnatural
cruelty will be punished as it deserves.

its investigation into the Michigan
